tour. you asked abiut the closing date for Santa Anita. The tracks last day for this meeting is Mon. 4/18/05. Have you seen the numbers? Atten. during week 3000-4000, handle down 25 % from prev. year. Short fields, stables going to Fla., weak jockey colony,poor quality of horses, and general decline in west coast racing. It soon will be the Late Great Place. The Hollywood Park land will be- Fed.X major headquarters along with other commerical stuff. Santa Anita will be million dollar plus homes & and some retail. Racing is dead in Ca. I went every day for 30 yrs. Great racing, large fields, great crowds, great horses, and jockeys. Never again- gone forever.
